POLYLITE® 441-800 E
Standard Ortho Polyester Resin

DESCRIPTION

POLYLITE® 441-800 E is a medium reactive general purpose, orthophthalic polyester resin, specially
designed for the production of regular GRP Panels

POLYLITE® 441-800 E is thixotropic and has a viscosity that ensures thorough glass fiber impregnation.
Built-in accelerator system gives relatively long gel time, rapid curing combined with relatively low exothermic
temperature and short de-molding time.

POLYLITE® 441-800 E is extra stabilized for prolonged shelf life at elevated temperature and geltime
adjusted for comfortable process time even at higher ambient temperature,

APPLICATION

POLYLITE® 441-800 E is a general purpose resin designed for the construction of GRP panels with hand
lay up (brush) or spray up applications

POLYLITE® 441-800 E is designed for marine, industrial and transport application.

Recommended laminate thicknesses applied wet-on-wet: 3-8 mm

FEATURES BENIFITS

• Short application time

• Excellent application properties • Good fiber wetting
• Higher fiber content

• Moderate Viscosity • Ensures fast and thorough glass fiber impregnation,

reduces risk of dry patches.

• Medium reactivity • Good curing and low Exotherm ensures quick

demolding time and faster production.

RECOMMENDED PEROXIDE

All POLYLITE® products are Quality Controlled with the specified Peroxide. However, alternatives are
available and all users should be aware that a single Peroxide formulation cannot provide optimum results
in all resin systems. The interaction between the Peroxide and the inhibitor/accelerator systems used in
our products is complex and varies from resin to resin. Consequently the gel and cure characteristics
provided by alternate Peroxide can vary greatly from those specified. It is, therefore, absolutely essential
that the user evaluate each alternate Peroxide in each product before full-scale manufacture is started.

Through thorough laboratory work we have found that some types of Peroxide formulation (such as the acetyl
acetones) can lead to distinct cured color variation. We would, therefore, strongly recommend the use of
single peroxide (Norpol Peroxide No.1 / Butanox M-50) especially where consistent light colors are required
for the finished articles.

Safety Data Bulletin No. 1 applies to POLYLITE® 441 – 800 E.

STORAGE

To ensure maximum stability and maintain optimum resin properties, POLYLITE® resins should be stored in
closed containers at temperatures below 25oC and away from heat sources and sunlight. All storage areas
and containers should conform to local fire and building codes. Drum stock should be stored away from all
sources of flame or combustion. Inventory levels should be kept to a reasonable minimum with first-in, first-out
stock rotation.

PACKAGING FORM

Non-returnable 220 kg metal drums or returnable 1000 kg plastic containers, 20 kg pails may be delivered
on request. ISO Road Tankers are available with approximately 24Tons supply.

SAFETY

READ AND UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET BEFORE WORKING WITH THIS PRODUCT

Obtain a copy of the material safety data sheet on this product prior to use. Material safety data sheets
